Since our season changed don't think we'll see it in Dec like in the past You are incorrect - the 2022/23 World 7s schedule is out and the CT 7s will take place from 9 to 11 December 2022. On a related note, I heard that the IRB may terminate the 7s World Cup, now that they have the Olympics. Isn't...

I was one! what an amazing ten days in Cape Town, can't believe it took me so long to go to SA. Wonderful place and wonderful people. The tournament was amazing, some absolute class teams now and although the usual suspects were in the final there were 6-7 teams in with a shout to make that final, ...

The Wits win was massive this past week in the context of relegation, it puts them one win ahead of UWC and UJ on the combined 21/22 log. Madibaz will never make up the points to stay up, but any one of UJ/UWC/WITS/AXIAS could go down. My thoughts are that Wits and Shimlas have sides that will win ...

Went to the Ikey vs UWC match. Was great to watch live sports again and was a great vibe, even without beer. Very physical match with some great running rugby. Connor Evans and Duran Koevert were massive for the Ikeys. Ikeys may have 2/3 players out injured for the next match against Madibaz. I hop...

As long as we have fans like OomPB and his fellow boomers things won't change. Expect more whinging, more calls of Quota when a new black prospect is picked, and more drunken fights on Loftus's East pavilion :( Nipper - from what I've seen on social media, boomers are not the primary problem Dunno ...

Congratulations to England. Your backline hammered us today. Your new flyhalf and fullback are top class.Obviously, I'm disapointed with the result but it was a very exciting game.

A lot of this justification from Saffers seems to centre around the "pressure" that Gatland put the refereeing team under before the previous test. If we come back to what that actually was, dealing briefly with facts for a moment, Gatland was never directly quoted . Every article I've seen has the...

The only victim is Nic Berry. You know, that bloke who did the refereeing. That's all he did, referee a rugby match. Challenge yourself if you must and go on social media to see for yourself what thousands of South Africans are calling him. It's disgraceful and disgusting. Where are the famous Spri...

Maybe so, but I doubt he would have dropped Kolisi based on Berry being a racist (in they eyes of complete morons). As that the sum total of what you've taken out of this?

Rassie was the crybaby in this. One of the things that makes us better than football is our respect for the match officials. Rassie crapped all over that. Very unbecoming Nonsense. Firstly, if you think that "we" are better than football, you are a muppet of the highest order. Football is many mult...

They get assessed, they get stood down to do AR touch games instead and they work on their weaknesses. What doesn't happen to them (or any coach or player iafter a bad game) is to be forensically vilified in hour-long videos by other key stakeholders in the game and called a white supremacist by th...

Anyone criticising / laughing / pointing at Saffas is a racist. Berry dared to referee them. I wouldn't go as far as calling it racist but AWJ and Berry had been having a nice tea party throughout the game and dismissed Siya a couple of times. The balance of attention paid to both Captains differed...

How to win an argument

Is that a Westie bogan Aussi accent, or an attempt at a SA accent? I use the word 'attempt' very loosely!

A slap on the wrist. A bare zephyr of contact. That is because WR knew their case was weak. They wanted to make the punishment as palatable as possible for RE in the hopes that he accepts this and doesn't appeal. Sadly it hasn't panned out that way and RE will make WR his personal lap dancer. Again...
